Synopsis

In a certain food container factory, suggestive rumors about Mako Higari say that she will sleep with anybody. Her coworker Kinoshita believes this, so testing his luck, he strikes up a conversation with Mako, and the two eventually end up in a hotel room.

Soon, the pair are ready to have sexual intercourse. However, the night quickly does not go as planned—while engaged in the act, a stream of blood suddenly gushes out of Mako's nose! Mako explains this frequently occurs whenever she comes into physical contact with anything impure. Finding it unsettling, Kinoshita runs away and leaves Mako back at square one.

Botabota follows Mako's journey toward obtaining a normal life where all her unfulfilled desires are achieved—which proves difficult when everyone and everything she touches is filthy one way or another.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

Included one-shot: Shirohige to Boin (White Beard and Boobs)

Story 6/10 - The premise itself is very interesting, though it's sort of a mess and goes all over the place.

Art 6/10 - Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it looks awkward and bad. You can definitely tell that Paru drew this, she has a very recognizable art style.

Character 7/10 - The characters don't change very much, but it's still interesting seeing how they react with the world, especially with Mako's bloody noses. The characters are pretty static and there's no real character development, but for such a short story I don't mind it.

Enjoyment 8/10 - I enjoyed it. Some of the awkward drawings are ...

As somebody who absolutely loves Paru Itagaki and everything she writes, I was overall pretty stoked about this manga! I think that Itagaki had some interesting things she wanted to say with this manga, so let's get into it.

Story: 8/10
Sadly, this story was not as strong as Itagaki's other mangas, but I loved how bizarre and surreal it was. I think Paru's goal with this story was to show that not everything in relationships is all black and white. Some people need different things, and overall that's what makes relationships and love beautiful. I think this message got bogged down a bit with Paru attempting ...

Story:

Bota Bota is a short story about Mako, a woman that has a condition that makes her bleed from touching dirty things since she's germaphobe. A problem she got from her mother after she divorced her father and soon later was forced onto her as well basically. Even with this situation she's in she still wants to find a true lover throughout the story, which is of course harder than it seems for her.

The story is quite a simple one as you'd expect from a manga with only 9 chapters, but it's still done quite well even since Mako's condition would probably get ...
